Osmo Pocket 3 accessories on the Pocket 4P: what still fits, what doesn't, and what a full re-buy costs

DJI's FAQ says Pocket 3 lens accessories and the case don't fit the Pocket 4P. What carries over, what to buy new, with DJI Store prices in euros.

Three boxes: Pocket 3 lens accessories and case do not fit the Osmo Pocket 4P, the Pocket 3 battery handle has limits, the Pocket 4 battery handle and fill light are fully compatible

Mostly no. DJI's own FAQ says the lens accessories and the protective case from the Osmo Pocket 3 don't fit the Osmo Pocket 4P. The Pocket 3 battery handle will charge it, but data, audio pass-through and activation may not work. The Pocket 4 battery handle and fill light are the two things DJI calls fully compatible. If you're moving from a Pocket 3 with a filter kit, plan on buying the lens side again: 45€ per accessory in DJI's German store today.

Which Pocket 3 and Pocket 4 accessories work on the 4P?

We read the German DJI FAQ for the Osmo Pocket 4P and the product pages in the DJI Store DE. The "DJI says" column is theirs. The prices are the store prices on 14 November 2026, with a Black Friday banner already up, so they can move.

Osmo Pocket 4P accessory compatibility, from DJI's FAQ and store pages
AccessoryFrom Pocket 3From Pocket 44P version (DJI Store DE)
Lens add-ons (ND, wide-angle)NoNot covered by DJI45€ each, listed as 4P only
Protective caseNoNo (case and carry bag)Carry pouch in the Standard Combo
Battery handleCharging works, other functions may be limitedYes, fully compatible69€ (Pocket 4 handle, listed for 4 and 4P)
Fill lightNot covered by DJIYes, fully compatible24€ (Pocket 4 fill light, listed for 4 and 4P)

DJI's reason for the Pocket 3 lens add-ons is the different body and lens dimensions. The Pocket 4 case and bag fail for a similar reason: the 4P is physically larger. DJI also adds that actual compatibility can vary, so treat "fully compatible" as the official line, not a guarantee.

Will a Pocket 3 battery handle work on the 4P?

Partly. DJI says it can charge the 4P, but the two cameras use different USB port standards, so data transfer, audio pass-through and device activation may be limited. Audio pass-through is the one to worry about if you plan to plug a mic or receiver into the handle's rear port.

If you want the handle for audio, buy the right one. The Pocket 4 handle is 69€ in DJI's store and is listed for both the Pocket 4 and the 4P. It has a 1080 mAh battery, hot-swapping, and a USB-C port on the back (USB 3.1 compatible) for wired headphones, wired mics or mic receivers. On the 4P it adds about 130 minutes. On the Pocket 4 it adds 150.

Osmo Pocket 4P run time at 1080p/24, DJI's own test (25 °C, Wi-Fi and screen off)
SetupRun time
4P aloneup to 210 min
4P + fill light, medium (0.35 W)up to 180 min
4P + fill light, high (0.55 W)up to 156 min
4P + fully charged battery handleabout 130 min more

The handle can't charge your phone. DJI answers that one with a flat "no".

Why do you have to re-buy the ND filters and the wide-angle lens?

Because DJI made new ones. The 4P has two cameras, a 20 mm wide with a 1-inch sensor and a 60 mm with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, and its filters use a dual-glass design that covers both lenses. The ND set has three filters (ND16, ND64, ND256) and a case for 45€. The Black Mist filter is 45€. The add-on wide-angle lens widens the view to 108° and costs 45€. All three pages list the Osmo Pocket 4P as the only compatible camera.

They attach with a twist: line the tabs up with the slots on the lens, then turn clockwise until it clicks. We haven't used them, so we can't tell you how they behave in the wind or with a gimbal move.

Which ND you actually need depends on your ISO. We worked that out in our Pocket 4P ND filter guide for ISO 1600 in D-Log 2.

How much does a full re-buy cost?

Our arithmetic from the DJI Store DE prices. It assumes you want the same kit you had on the Pocket 3.

Re-buying a Pocket 3 kit for the Pocket 4P, DJI Store DE, 14 Nov 2026
ItemPriceNeeded?
ND16, ND64, ND256 set45€If you shoot outdoors in daylight
Black Mist filter45€Only if you used one before
Wide-angle lens add-on45€If you use the Pocket 3 one
Battery handle (Pocket 4 handle)69€For run time or a mic receiver
Fill light24€Already in the Standard Combo
All lens items + handle204€The worst case

The Standard Combo is 599€ in the same store (listed as "from"). It includes the 4P, a USB-C PD cable (USB 3.1), the fill light, a wristband, the grip with 1/4″ thread and a carry pouch. For comparison, the same page lists the Pocket 4 from 499€ and the Pocket 3 from 269€. So if you buy the 4P and the full lens kit and handle, you're past 800€ before a mic. If you only use the camera bare, none of this matters.

What about microphones and tripods?

Mics are the easy part. The 4P pairs directly with the DJI Mic 2, Mic 3, Mic Mini and Mic Mini 2 from the on-screen system settings, and it supports two transmitters at once. The original DJI Mic doesn't connect directly: you need its receiver plugged in. We cover what the float recording does and doesn't do in our DJI Mic 3 32-bit float guide.

Tripods are a gap in DJI's answers. The 4P grip has a standard 1/4″ thread and the battery handle does too, so any tripod with that screw will hold it. Whether DJI's own Pocket 3 mini tripod fits is something the FAQ doesn't address, so we're not going to guess. Third-party sellers sell their own adapters and filters for the 4P. We haven't tested any of them.

What should you do, depending on what you own?

Our reading of DJI's compatibility notes
If you own...What carries overWhat to buy new
Pocket 3 + ND, lens and caseHandle for charging only, plus any 1/4″ tripodFilters and lens (45€ each), case or pouch, a proper handle (69€)
Pocket 4 (not the P)Battery handle and fill light, DJI says fullyCase, bag, and the lens items (DJI lists its 4P ones as 4P only)
Nothing yetNot an issueStandard Combo at 599€ has the essentials, then ND set (45€)

The honest advice: if you already have a Pocket 3 you like and the footage is working, the accessories don't make the upgrade for you. The 4P's reasons are the second lens, D-Log 2 and the sensor. We went into that in how to grade D-Log 2 in DaVinci Resolve. The gear is only the bill that comes with it.

Questions people ask

Do Osmo Pocket 3 ND filters fit the Pocket 4P?

No. DJI's FAQ says Pocket 3 lens accessories aren't compatible with the 4P because of different body and lens dimensions. The 4P has its own ND16, ND64 and ND256 set for 45€.

Can I use my Pocket 3 battery handle on the Pocket 4P?

It will charge the 4P, but DJI says data transfer, audio pass-through and device activation may be limited because the USB port standards differ. DJI recommends the matching handle.

Does the Pocket 4 battery handle work on the Pocket 4P?

Yes, DJI calls it fully compatible, and the product page lists both cameras. It adds about 130 minutes on the 4P against 150 on the Pocket 4. It costs 69€ in the DJI Store DE.

Does the Pocket 3 case fit the Pocket 4P?

No. DJI says the Pocket 3 case isn't compatible, and the Pocket 4 case and carry bag aren't either, because the 4P is larger.

Can I connect a DJI Mic to the Pocket 4P?

The Mic 2, Mic 3, Mic Mini and Mic Mini 2 pair directly from the system settings. The original DJI Mic needs its receiver connected to the camera.
